Notes
- Simulacrum attack potency is 280 prior to learning the Enhanced Living Shadow trait.
- The simulacrum will begin attacking 6 seconds after the timer on the gauge begins counting down, allowing for pre-pull usage.
- The full order of attacks will not be complete if conjured too early.
- Requires a target to be attacked by the player upon control before beginning to attack. The simulacrum will not switch targets after it has acquired one, unless its target is defeated.
Trivia
- The order of attacks the simulacrum performs in order are:
Abyssal Drain, 
Shadowstride (even if within melee range, dealing no damage), 
Shadowbringer (or 
Flood of Shadow if under level 90), 
Bloodspiller, 
Disesteem (or 
Carve and Spit if under level 100).
